Sankhajit Bhattacharjee Poem 247

Scientific Research Fellow in University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee

Burka

'You have not obeyed my order. In front of

my friend you came out without covering your face'.

The acid attack victim is struggling

for life in the hospital.

If she was not beautiful, she has to stand on fire!

A woman can observe a man from head to toe

but the reverse is not accepted, why?

Burka is not an issue here.

The outlook remains same- wild-

as it was at the time of first dawn-

a clogged drain with muddy water and non-sense garbage.
